I don't want to be a party pooper, but I'm sincerely worried about Affinity's move to become cloud-based freeware. I smell enshittification on the horizon. I'm willing to pay a fair price for good tools. I don't want "free" because *nothing* is actually for free.

I know it's tedious to say at this point, but this is why we need to listen when porn artists and sex workers raise the alarm about this shit. Art and people that can be dismissed as "immoral" are ALWAYS the thin end of the wedge when the powers that be try and assert control over entire systems.

After two years of publishers telling us “visual novels don't sell” and “AI could make a thousand like that” we’re finally announcing ❤️‍🔥 Mythic Love: Iberian Legends, a human-made monster romance VN (no, there's never enough of these) inspired by Spanish myths and legends! +info⬇️

Give me prompts in the comments and I draw my boy Itami/Ryu with them! #mysketchbook The first comes from @teskariel.bsky.social: Sports! Ryu is Ryukyuan and practices Kodudo & Goju-ryu (剛柔流) Karate. For him it's an important tradition rooted in his culture but also a fun competitive activity.

おはようございます。 まあいずれそうしようとは思っていましたが、Twitterエッくそから引き払うことにしましたよ。 改めまして、よろしくです。（自国語でも話すことにしました） Good morning. Well, I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I've decided to move on from Twitter X. Once again, nice to meet you, Bluesky😊 (I use Japanese because it's easy. It's my own language.😙

Screw Harry Potter, watch Over the Garden Wall instead.

This is why when i want to buy anything remotely HP related i do it from independent artists not affiliated with her And preferably these items are not referencing her work Like the magic wand i bought from a friend crafter @/siginnarmakes on telegram SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTISTS NOT THE TERF

Please. Don't support this person. I grew up with Harry Potter like the rest of you. But no fictional franchise should weigh more than human lives. And JK is destroying human lives. Her endeavors have substantially contributed to the passing of laws locking trans people out from healthcare in the UK

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.

After three years of Russia's war, fields once full of life are now mined and scarred. For these farmers tending the land turned into an act of resistance. Here are their stories ⬇️

Im April 2024 geraten ein Neonazi (III. Weg) & 2 Antifas in Berlin aneinander, alle werden durch Messerstiche schwer verletzt. Angeklagt sind nun nur die Antifas, sie hätten das Messer geführt.

Highly recommend: throwing any and all creatives a DM/comment/email to let them know how their work touched you, whether now or in the past. I never expect a reply. But doing this regularly not only helps others see their art is valued, but improves your own confidence & connection.

Die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung widerspricht dem "Stadtbild"-Narrativ. Das zeigt eine ZDF-Umfrage, die aber vom Sender komplett ins Gegenteil verdreht wurde. Eine gravierender Fehler für den öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk. www.volksverpetzer.de/faktencheck/...

Doing this again! If you donate 20$ or more to Hades and send me a screenshot of your receipt + a sfw reference picture of your OC I'll draw a sketch like this for you. ▸[email protected] Beware of scammers, only contact me via the mail shown above.

Politics is the art of making people care. Effective movements *shift the polls* by framing issues as moral questions. If the fascists can make people care about conspiracy theories like QAnon, we can make people care about freedom and democracy. (George Lakoff wrote several books on this.)

It's soul jar season again! All October, for a $80 (or 150 for a double jar), I'll collect a spirit of your choice with a befitting collection of objects to keep them safe and comfortable. If you'd like to grab one, dm me before midnight on Halloween - whereafter souls become too slippery to catch

I didn't do drawtober this year, again, because October is traditionally one of the busiest months of the year for me. But I want to do a drawing challenge to get me back into it. With Itami maybe? How about y'all give me random short prompts (1-2 words) and I draw the shonen for you?

i want to do more of these, they're real fun. Queue is empty and Hades still needs help.

Being a...hobby artist (?) Online is strange bc I feel like an impostor. I don't have time to draw everyday because I have a day job and limited Spoons. And whenever I get around to drawing I don't know what to say about it bc it feels like taking attention away from ppl who need to make a living.

Do it. Search your name. Take their money. It’s yours anyway.

Haven't had much time to draw recently, but here's an attempt at a (deliberately) odd-looking little logo for our Halloween party - SCP themed, liminal space included.

Chat control's vote has been shelved for now, but the EU is still very intent on driving through this kind of legislation in the future if they can If youre an EU resident, you need to contact your MPs and MEPs regularly and demand this be OPPOSED

So, we're playing Vampire: the Masquerade (Revised Edition, 1999) again with the nice neighbors from downstairs. They've never played a #ttrpg in their lives before and, going through our full collection, that's what they choose. Right into the nostalgia. 🌹#VtM

I got told that my attempt to draw a rabbit for "bell" on the #Swordtemper list I'm still working on is very handsome 👀 It's been a long while and I dunno why, but rabbit just seemed right for this pose. Had definitely lots of fun with her ❤️ #traditionalart #mousedraws

pretty sure that if Le Monde calls your trans kid a "fashion week sensation" while you're scaremongering about bathrooms in an off-year Virginia gubernatorial they should just scroll credits on your ass because it's over www.lemonde.fr/en/m-le-mag/...

Happy 103rd Straw Hat Riot Day, today National Felt Hat Day! Remember 1922, when there were riots with arrests and injuries, because there were men wearing straw hats past the unwritten, socially acceptable date. And maybe learn there is no need for violence about things that hurt noone ;)

ESTO.
